Trailer: The Brothers Grimsby is likely to tickle your amusing bone

After delivering some Hannukah bashing remarks and noting that in Kazakhstan, Kimmel is the word for a “lady’s vagine” and Jimmy means “much hair”, Borat ran down a roll call of Cohen’s “offensive” characters – Ali G, Bruno, ahem, Donald Trump (not!) – then introduced a trailer for the comedian’s new movie The Brothers Grimsby.

Baron Cohen’s appearance on Kimmel shows that, whatever the reaction to Grimsby, his character Borat is still as bad-taste-funny as ever.

Grimsby will be released in cinemas in February 2016.

The hilarious flick centres around two brothers separated in childhood, with Nobby remaining in an orphanage while his sibling Sebastian Graves moving away with his new family.

The film stars Sacha Baron Cohen, Mark Strong, Isla Fisher, Rebel Wilson, Gabourey Sidibe and Penélope Cruz.

Sacha Baron Cohen excels at playing characters who are not too bright and his latest embodiment is no exception. Especially as he’s the man responsible for creating Donald Trump…

Typical spy movie tropes like deadly viruses and exotic locations all feature, as well as Baron Cohen’s brand of ridiculous humour made famous in films like Borat and Brüno.

“It is clearly a parody of a rich, American racist”, said Borat.

He continued: “Cohen have spent all the money on orange paint for face and he leave no money for wig”. But when it comes to “The Brothers Grimsby”, well, it looks just plain dumb. There’s only one thing missing: his little brother, Sebastian, whom Nobby hasn’t seen in 28 years.
